Chapter 782
From time to time, Noah got so wasted that he’d simply sleep in one of the private rooms at the club. Once he woke up, it’d feel as if he just had a bad dream.Tonight was no exception. He didn’t want to go home because he didn’t want to see the cold expression on her face. He didn’t need to deal with her frigid attitude now. For that matter, he had also lost interest in having sex with her. Something felt off when he did her that day. Staring at the whiskey in his glass, he chuckled coldly. She knew just how to make him sick!He drank himself to a stupor and lay down on the black and gold bar counter, murmuring Gwynn’s name. Then, someone patted him gently. “It’s you, Gwynn.” He was lingering between the lines of unconsciousness and soberness. The hair on the back of his neck stood up as he called out her name. At the next moment, his blurry vision started to clear and he saw who actually stood before him. It was Gianna. He lost interest in the matter of a second. Pour

Kim was roused from her sleep. She clambered out of her bed and made her over to the police department to bail Noah out. She wasn’t aware that it was her director who started the whole mess. It gave the officer a wonderful opportunity to extort her. She had to fork up two hundred thousand dollars to bail him out. The young man, who had been punched several times, taunted Noah, “Do you think you’re above us because you’re rich and handsome?! Fat lot of good it did you, your wife still left you. “I bet she did it because she couldn’t stand how unreasonable and domineering you are! You fucking deserved it, you asshole!”Noah charged at him, fully intending to pound the life out of the young man. Kim tried but failed at pulling him back. In the end, the police chief had to hold him from behind as he tried to comfort Noah, “You have to calm down, Mr. Noah! I know you’re massively wealthy and you don’t care about forking up some money, but you’re a public figure. “If you go vi

Noah smiled bitterly in response. He took the opportunity to check on the kids when Gladys went away to make breakfast. The morning sunlight shone into the bedroom. Both of them were sleeping soundly. Holly loved sleeping on her back, but Lorian was accustomed to holding something in his embrace when he slept. It used to be a pillow, but he had a younger sister now. So, he was very content to hold her in his sleep. Noah sat by the side of the bed. Reaching out, he brushed the kids’ cheeks. They were warm, pure, and free from the clutches of the real world.Lorian held his sister tightly. Holly smacked her lips a little. It seemed like she wanted to drink milk, but her brother was holding onto her. That made her feel so comfortable that she slipped right back into her slumber.Noah saw it and almost cried. Then, he left the room. Pulling out a cigarette, he fiddled with it, but he didn’t light it. …Gladys made him some pizza. It was homemade and looked downright deli

Noah didn’t find his voice until after a brief moment. Gritting his teeth, he asked, “Did you just say that he was Archibald’s grandson?”The bodyguard had no choice but to say, “Yes, Mr. Noah.”He pondered on it for a while and said gingerly, “We followed the clues and traced it back to the Templeton Villa, but Mr. Achibald heard us and caught us on the spot. Not only did he not reprimand his grandson for his wrongful actions, but he actually chastised you and said he was going to come after you for an explanation!“His men are waiting in a car outside the villa now.“M-Mr. Archibald said Anderson was a virgin. So, he’s holding you responsible for it! Um… Wait a minute. He actually said he wanted Ms. Gwynn to take responsibility for it.”…Noah squinted at the bodyguard. He was the victim here. How could Archibald come knocking on his door when he hadn’t even had a chance to air his grievances? How was this right?The bodyguard stammered, “W-What should we do, Mr. Noah? Mr. A
Chapter 786
The young man looked like he was about twenty-two years old. He was dressed in a white shirt, looking refined and handsome. He was sitting next to Archibald, looking like the most well-behaved young man in the world. Noah had seen the video clip. He knew better than anyone that the young man was the furthest thing from being well-behaved. Suppressing his violent nature, he flashed Archibald a faint smile. “I was made aware that you wanted to see me, Mr. Archibald! What are the odds? I also need you to preside over some matters and announce your verdict.”Putting down his cup of tea, the old man stared at him. Noah didn’t back down from the stare. Then, Archibald smiled. “What’s with the serious face, Noah?! I have your back, no matter what happens! In fact, I’m going to ask my sorry excuse of a grandson to tell you the whole truth. “I’m telling you, I’m going to break his legs if he tries to lie to you. That’ll teach him to seduce a married woman.”The old man might’ve tr

Half an hour later, the car was driven back to Noah’s villa. He got out of the car and took brisk steps toward the door. At that moment, all he wanted to do was see Gwynn. However, he was also assaulted by all sorts of emotions. He and Gwynn would know no peace, now that the Templetons had set their eyes on the two of them. However, the anxiety that was creeping on him evaporated the moment he opened the bedroom door and saw his wife, who was sleeping soundly on the bed!He and Gwynn shared a storied past.He was just dealing with Anderson. Why was he letting young man mess up his psyche?The Templetons might’ve been powerful, but he was a force to be reckoned with himself. Otherwise, Archibald would have treated him very differently today. In a matter of seconds, he thought a lot about the matter at hand. Walking over to the bedside, he stared at her while she slept. She kept her guard up for the past few days. He hadn’t seen her this relaxed and sleeping on his bed in a

Gwynn remained quiet. Noah was a little pissed off, but he didn’t want to have another fallout, either. So, he calmed himself and said politely, “Come over here and get some rest! When was the last time you had a good night’s sleep?”Holding a glass of water in her hands, she stood by the window and stared off into space. After a brief moment, she said softly, “I’m going home! It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve returned to the penthouse. Gladys is going to be worried sick about me.”Frowning, he said, “This is your home. Your actual home.”“We’re separated.” Her voice was dry and bland. “Do you seriously think I’m going to do what you say and subject myself to your whims and fancies simply because you flexed your muscles a few times and ravaged me?“I don’t even have a shred of dignity left in me. What do I have to lose?”He didn’t want to let her go. However, he was wrong about the things he did to Ewan, no matter how he looked at it. So, he released her after he pond

Gwynn exposed what Eluned truly thought of the matter.The latter got passed off and said, “What a load of crap! It’s your fault that Ewan is in this mess.”Gwynn simply remained calm and collected. She said faintly, “You don’t win a man’s heart by being spiteful and obstinate, Eluned!“You don’t have a place in Noah’s heart, nor did he treat you as anything more than a nobody. Why do you insist on obsessing over him? You could’ve had a happy, blessed life.”Eluned’s lips trembled slightly.The truth was, she knew how right Gwynn was. However, she couldn’t accept it emotionally.She couldn’t accept the fact that Noah thought of her hot, passionate love for him as nothing more than a worthless whim.She had pride, after all. She’d never allow herself to suffer such a miserable ending and leave.…Her lips were still trembling as she stared at Gwynn for a long time.In the end, she left while she covered her face.Silence hung over the empty break corner. Their coffee had long gone cold.
